This men's oversized 36mm IWC dress watch is a striking example of mid-century elegance, crafted in solid 18k gold and featuring the brand’s distinctive and rare "shark fin" lugs; a bold design detail that sets it apart. 

The mesmerizing white dial is clean and balanced, adorned with minimalist hour markers and stylized numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9, giving it a timeless and versatile aesthetic. 

Powering this watch is the legendary IWC Calibre 89, one of the most celebrated manual-wind movements of its era. Developed in the post-war period, the Cal. 89 earned a reputation for its precision, durability, and engineering excellence, so much so that it was used in IWC’s military-issued watches and continues to be revered by collectors today. 

With its elegant proportions, high-grade construction, and historical importance, this IWC is more than just a watch, it's a sophisticated statement piece and a testament to horological heritage.

The serial begins with 177 dating this watch to 1964.
